The Block In (oils)



The Block in:
This step establishes the structure and value pattern of the image, with the idea of pushing the development of value and color temperature.

The paint is applied fairly quickly and loose with the goal of refining the drawing as you move towards the finish.

In the pursuit of making a picture, you will want to respond to what is discovered through observation of your subject or reference.

This is a critical part of the process, because one naturally understands a subject better through continued observation and evaluation of it. The act of correcting the drawing is based on the information extracted from the subject, followed by mentally processing it and stating it.
